I suggest they change the name to the cougars and get some hot MILF's, women retired by Hooter's, to cheerlead and make it a circus. No offense, I remember when the patriots were bad and all this talk went on. Either fix it or embrace it.

If Jag really minded having his chops busted he would change his name.

And yes Jag, us lifelong Pats fans rememeber being the jags, so we are probably better at getting under your skin than any of the others.

I am sure he knows I am just busting stones. and man those days sucked but at the same time I miss waking up sunday and scoring some beers during the blue law days and heading to the game, buying tickets and having one hell of a good time.

some of my fondest memories are when those horrible teams some how won the game.

They're hoping that the Brit pronunciation Jag-U-ars will really catch on, rebrand the product and help people forget about all the losing, empty seats and ugly helmets.

I think there is a chance that they could be the first franchise to move out of the U.S. and become the London Jaguars. For serious. I think this is Shad's long-range plan despite his pronouncements that he loves J-Ville.

I don't think it's completely random that they are playing over there. Wheels are turning and Roger would LOVE to get a team over there if he can figure a way around some of the logistical issues.

The London Jaguars. Has a ring to it, no?

Logistics is not the only problem, getting sufficient fan support will be another.
I've been to both Patriot games at Wembley and you see fans there wearing jerseys from many of the NFL teams so, support is spread across a number of teams, not just one, these are the people that have to be won over.
Obviously not an indicator one way or the other as the sample numbers were too small but, when we discussed on our forum if a UK based team would have any influence on us as Patriots fans, the consensus was that we would remain exclusively Patriot fans, although some people said they might go to one or two games, more a case of getting an NFL "fix" than a desire to follow as a fan, a UK based team.

Yes they are with the renovation all of the seats in the north end zone that were tarped will be gone and many of the displaced in the north end zone due to renovations will be moved to the upper areas that were tarped off. The stadium will be closer to right sized for NFL stadium.

I am one that will never say never, but for a man to put about 50 million of his own money in stadium upgrades that his team doesn't even own says a bit. I know most will say that's chump change and maybe it is but I believe he is dedicated to the market.

I don't care if chops are busted as you guys well know. And yes I remember when my dad would be pissed if it was New England that was being shown in our market on a Sunday especially if it was the crap bowl between Indy and New England. Oh how times change and most times it's due to new ownership as the Jags are going through now. I think Kahn is taking a lot of pages from Kraft's book he is investing not only in the stadium (no he hasn't built his own) but he has been investing heavily in downtown Jax as well as has his eye on a piece of prime riverfront property right across from the stadium to develop for retail etc. The team has said if a private company does not develop it Kahn will.

This is something that's been discussed a few times here and you're point is well taken, but I don't necessarily believe that the right team at the right time couldn't be successful over there.

I don't believe that the NFL is holding games over there just to provide a treat to the expatriate Yanks and a few confused Brits looking for a novel day at the pitch. Roger is working on a business plan and he's still trying to prime the pump until his numbers guys say the time is right.

Just a matter of when, not if. Rog is a market guy and a little piece of the London market is a hell of a lot more attractive than the entire JVille market.

I don't believe the flight is all that big of a deal to him, or anybody, really.

There are ways to work the schedule to allow for a little more time to "recover" from sitting in first class luxury for a few extra hours. There are fortunes to be made and empires to build so the working class must suffer a bit. It's not like these guys are in steerage with the riff-raff.

Jet lag is bullshit, anyway. The problem with people feeling out of sorts after a flight is that a person's soul can only travel at a maximum speed of about 110MPH. When travel is faster than that the soul lags behind for a while until it can catch up and reunite with the body. A couple of hours then everybody feels whole again.

I think it will only work well when there's an entire division of NFL teams in Europe ---> AFC Europe or NFC Europe. I could see the entire AFC South moved over there. I know I wouldn't miss the AFC South over here!

Anyway, pick 4 of Istanbul, Moscow, London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Bucharest, Hamburg, Budapest, Vienna and Warsaw. Those are the 10 largest cities in order with Istanbul having a population of 14M, Moscow, 12M, London, 8.3M all the way down to Warsaw with 1.7M people.

Going 110 mph it would only take about 5 days to travel to Moscow and Rome. Maybe teams could have walk throughs on their big cargo planes.

Jags have only lost once . Since I been taking my brother in law to a game . Once a year the only time they lost when I went to a game . Was that shit performance . The pats had in Jacksonville. On the blight side they had a sell out. Had to remove most of the tarps for that game
